A precise and beautifully structured white Grand Cru wine from Burgundy

The estate

The Louis Jadot House, established since 1859, is a true reference in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Owner of prestigious vineyard plots, the Louis Jadot House perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation, offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.

Pierre-Henry Gagey, who has been at the head of the Louis Jadot House since 1992, handed over his position in September 2022 to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the General Management to his son Thibault Gagey.

The vineyard

This 1er cru "Les Charmes" Domaine Louis Jadot 2023 by Louis Jadot is a Meursault wine made from a vineyard facing due east, resting on a brown limestone soil.

The vintage

The mild and dry winter delays the vine cycle. After a late bud break, the vine grows vigorously in May. Flowering is early with beautiful bunches. Some storms in July alleviate the lack of water, and veraison begins. August sees a heatwave followed by beneficial rains. Harvesting begins in early September in high heat. The white wines show a beautiful acidity, the red wines are dense with ripe tannins. The vintage has a good balance and promises a long aging, with wines with clear and pure aromas.

Vinification and aging

Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo gentle pressing before fermentation in oak barrels from the estate's cooperage (including 1/3 new). Aging for about 15 months on fine lees.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).
